We are on day 5 of a SLAM. We lost no chlorine overnight and CC is .5, but water is cloudy. I assume this means that we need to continue the SLAM. We had the same test results yesterday morning as well, and the water is just as cloudy as it was yesterday even though I've been keeping the pool at shock level and have been brushing, vacuuming and backwashing often. I feel like I'm not making any progress and could use some advice on what I can do to clear it up. I tested the water a little while ago and here are the results:
FC - 16
CC - .5
CYA appears to be 40
PH appears to be 7.8
TA is still 50
Could the low TA (50) and high PH (7.8) be causing the cloudiness? I never installed the ladder and have scrubbed the walls repeatedly so I'm pretty sure there is no algae hiding anywhere. I'm having trouble keeping leaves out of the pool since it is so windy so I'm wondering if this is stalling the progress of the SLAM. It is supposed to rain daily for the next 5 days starting tomorrow so I really would like to clear this pool up before all of this rainy weather starts. Other than continuing to SLAM and continuing to brush, vacuum and backwash often, is there anything that I can do to clear this up?
